To stay true to my promised first post, I will review every movie I watch. The first movie I saw after creating this blog was Le fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain, also known as Amélie to the less civilized. (I wonder how uncivilized a person who watches French films can be). As the title suggests, yes, this is a French movie. If you are put off by reading subtitles, then this film is not for you, and you should not be reading this if you are that lazy. The story starts off with a young girl from Paris named Amélie. Using many cute 'n clever camera tricks and stock footage usage, we see how she grows up as a home schooled girl, and how she goes through her own magical world. Years later, when Amélie has grown to a young woman, she hears of the tragic event that changes her life completely: the death of Lady Diana. Through a series of a few events, Amélie anonymously returns an old tin box of memories to a man who used to live in her apartment in the 50's. This man refers to her as his "guardian angel," which influences her to become this new profession for her.
In my opinion, this movie is a masterpiece. Audrey Tautou does a magnificent job, the direction was brilliant, the cinematography was beautiful, and the script was very well written. On a scale of 1 to 10, I give this movie an 9.0.
Au Revoir!
